July 2018 Newsletter FOUNDATION Bear Creek Greenway July 2018 Newsletter FOUNDATION Meet Board Member Shana Thomas Roxy Ann I grew up in a family where spending time outdoors was just the norm.

  • Of the Rogue River National Forest from ABBOTT BU1TE to ZIMMERMAN BURN: a PLACE-NAME HISTORY and GAZITEER of the ROGUE RIVER NA11ONAL FOREST
    A Place-NameHistoryandGazetteer of the Rogue River National Forest FROM ABBOTT BU1TE TO ZIMMERMAN BURN: A PLACE-NAME HISTORY AND GAZITEER OF THE ROGUE RIVER NA11ONAL FOREST C.R. Job AR-I 48 (RRNF-HRC item B-66) Compiled by: Jeff LaLande Forest Archaeologist April 1995 This 1995 edition of From Abbott Butte to Zimmerman Bum updates the 1991 version of the gazetteer, which was a major revision of past versions. In the time since the first edition of this place-name history/gazetteer was compiled in 1980, research has resutted in additions and changes. Local residents and other persons interested in southwestern Oregon history have generously passed along to me both corrections and suggestions for added place-name history items. I hope that readers will continue to do this, and that From Abbott Butte.., can be kept 'up-to-date." I can be contacted at Rogue River National Forest, P.O. Box 520, Medford, OR 97501. J.L 1995 ROGUE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST RIVERS AND STREAMS FROM ABBOTT BUTTE TO ZIMMERMAN BURN: A GAZETrEER OF THE ROGUE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST What's in a name? What is the history behind a geographicname like "Bear Pan Spring' or "Slickear Gulch'1 In some place-names theremay be a bit of humor or legend; in other names, there may be a dose of personal ego - or more often, simply puzzlement for the present-day resident. Whatever their origin, place-names can tell us much about the history of a region. This gazetteer, or "place-name history" glossary (updated froman initial version in the Forest's 1980 Cultural Resource Overview), lists most of the named natural and cultural landmarks within the Rogue River National Forest, and it attempts to give brief discussions of "why and when" each onewas named.

  • Birds at North Mountain Park: Occurrence, Seasonality and Numbers Over a 15 Year Period – 9/1999 Through 8/2014
    Birds at North Mountain Park: Occurrence, Seasonality and Numbers over a 15 Year Period – 9/1999 through 8/2014. Barbara W. Massey In the past 15 years at North Mountain Park 142 species have been documented. In 2009 I wrote a report summarizing the first decade of accumulated data from monthly bird counts (9/1999- 8/2009). In this report an additional 10 years are covered (9/2009- 8/2014) and added to the information already available. Included in this 15-year report are unusual sightings that were posted (and verified) at the Visitor Center, plus data from eBird, where individuals post their own sightings. These added species, usually off-course and not seen again, are included in the species accounts with the dates noted, and on the checklist marked with an asterisk. The past 5 years added 12 species to the list: Blue- winged Teal, Virginia Rail, Greater Yellowlegs, Eurasian Collared Dove, Eastern Kingbird, American Pipit, Purple Martin, Steller's Jay, Gray Catbird, Townsend's Warbler, Tri-colored Blackbird and Snow Bunting. The dove and the jay can be expected to become permanent additions, the other 3 were transients. The last 5 years have seen some losses a well as additions. Several are residents: Ring-necked Pheasant, California Quail, American Kestrel, Killdeer, and Western Meadowlark. Loss of habitat is the most likely cause for the near absence of all but the kestrel; that loss is not easily explained. Some species no longer seen were migrants on their way north or south, or nomads like Lewis's Woodpecker and Red Crossbill.
